Orvis Hydros HD Switch Floating Line. Ideal for switch rods, the Hydros HD switch line features our newest textured line technology for the ultimate in line speed, shootability and floatation. Comfortable to cast overhand, single or double hand, and to execute a variety of spey casts. Crafted around an exclusive Orvis taper, it features a 34-foot head with a moderate length front taper and compact back taper. Color change along the entire back taper aids the caster in determining the 'sweet spot' for a particular setup. To help maximize performance, combine this line with one of our 10' salmon/steelhead polyleaders (1R5K). HD texturing provides increased surface area, allowing the line to sit higher in the water, offering less drag, easier mending, less water spray, and easier pick-ups. The micro-textured surface traps air to provide increases in both shootability and flotation while decreasing friction, and the microreplicated pattern increases line durability.

Orvis Line ID
Quickly and easily identify your line, no more guessing. All of our lines will be printed with the taper, weight, and functionality.

IS (Integrated Slickness)
Additive is integrated throughout the PVC layer to provide lubrication for maximum distance, performance and durability.

Enhanced Welded Loops
New sleek and durable welded loops make leader attachment quick and easy while holding up to repeated use. Helps to transfer energy more efficiently to the leader allowing better turnover.

Review by John

Excellent line easily cast and allows a mediocre caster to cover a bit more water very impressed
